Igbos voted for Obasanjo twice ...

You voted for Obasanjo because it was opposite of what Yoruba wanted then which was Falae. You always go against Yoruba interest

So South South =
1. Bendel= Edo+ Delta

2. Rivers= Rivers+ Bayelsa

3 Cross River = Cross River + Delta

There are Two parts to the South South

West of the Niger

East of the Niger.

This is for the attention of those

We the SS/SE

Cross river is Akwa Ibom and Cross River chief
I know it's a typo.

The only south south state Obi might win is Edo state due to the internal wrangling in the state’s PDP chapter. Even at that, it’s a big IF.

Atiku will still win Delta, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa and Rivers if they find a way to resolve with Wike. APC may likely win Cross River and come second in Edo, Delta, Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa.

Overall, PDP should win SS, APC second and LP a distant third. Nothing is going to change.
APC will win Edo, with Tinubu on the ballot. If not that Okowa was choosing as Atiku vice, Delta would have been very close between APC and PDP.

Between you are being generous with your projection for Labour Party ó.
